State taxes could be big if you are moving from somewhere without them (Texas, FL, etc) to somewhere without them. I know CA is 10% for what it’s worth.
The company would need to pay for my relocation. That’s a big one. And I’d consider the COL and the job market in the target state to figure out how much of the 30% will be eaten up by COL and what my prospects would be if I lost that job.
Cost of living is also something to consider, there are calculators online to help give.youban idea of the math.
To answer your question, I did exactly this. I moved from a MCOL area to San Diego (VHCOL), and the salary increase wasn't life-changing, but it was enough to support a single guy in an apartment. It was a role change that I knew would put my career in a different trajectory, and it did in a big way.
First of all, congratulations on the great offer! I would check out an online cost of living calculator. Think about the people you currently interact with in person. This is a long term commitment and not a vacation. What will you miss most about your current location? Weigh that against the benefits at your new destination. If you need the change and the salary boost is worth it, then go for it.
I would look into housing that is a reasonable commute, is your home going to cost you more, less, or the same monthly.
I got a 30 percent pay increase last month and still wfh. I wouldn't move unless it benefits you, not them.
Depends on the state. I live in a no income tax state so even if I really like the state I would need more than 30%
